Welcome Two New Master Masons to Boggs Lodge

Worshipful Master Phil Altstaetter is pleased to welcome two new Master Masons to Boggs Lodge. Last Wednesday evening, a group of Past Masters of the Lodge, led by Right Worshipful Brother Robert O. Sanford, raised Brothers Dennis Sanford and Eric Kauffman in the Lodge's first Past Masters night in several years.

The opportunity for RWB Sanford to raise his son Dennis was a great occasion to call the Past Masters back into service, as nearly all officer stations were filled by Worshipful Brothers. This also marked the first occasion in recent memory to raise two new Master Masons in one night. While the evening was certainly a long night of work for the members present, it was an exciting opportunity to welcome two upstanding members of the community into the fraternity.

Raising two new members just prior to this week's Annual Inspection in which we'll introduce the newest Entered Apprentice into the mysteries of Freemasonry underscores the momentum enjoyed by the Lodge following on several successful years. At a time when some Lodges are struggling with membership, Boggs is thriving, regularly enjoying 25 or more members at any given regularly stated meeting. Likewise, the Lodge was able to field a full craft team from within the Lodge, and is often called to travel to other Lodges to provide courtesy work as such.

Worshipful Brother Altstaetter invites all members to come join in work during this exciting time for the Lodge.
